If you want to receive an alert for a specific item on this web site, add a search term in quotations before the site address.

For this tutorial, let's type "iPhone" at the beginning of our search field. This will filter the alert preview so that you see all of the items related to "iPhone" on the VisiHow web site as they appear.

In the options menu, you can choose the frequency of your Google alert.

By clicking the first drop-down menu next to "How often", you can choose "As-it-happens", "At most once a day", or "At most once a week". The next field is "Sources". Let's leave the "Sources" as "Automatic". "Sources" is followed by "Language" and "Region". Let's leave them at their default settings.

When you are satisfied with your settings, choose the blue button that says "CREATE ALERT".

Then, once the item that matches your search terms has been published on the specific web site you've selected and indexed by Google, you will be notified either in your inbox or on your RSS feed, depending on your settings. This will allow you to review the newly published article.

This has been a VisiHow tutorial on how to create a Google Alert for a specific web site.
